Super indulgent.
The mid-air flame-spitting Lancia brought a tear to my eye!
I'll watch the 2nd clip later.

Neat. It reminds me of a documentary about motorcycles called "On Any Sunday". The director used slo-mo of AMA dirt racing to great effect in that one, just to catch the beauty of the thing.
I wonder, did the YouTube video maker shoot his own high speed cam footage? Is there some video processing tricks you can use to make slo-mo vids out of full speed stuff?

Nice. I'll watch that later. In the name of free racing movies, You can get a free copy of "Truth in 24" on itunes so long has you have/make an account/
On the first video... I love slow mo race footage, but I honestly didn't even finish it. Between the minute plus of slow motion camera panning as an intro, and the fact that it seemed to be mostly crashes I lost interest fairly quick.
Never got why people love watching wrecks so much... anyone can crash a car, I wanna see people do it right :)

Resist the ADD and check Apexcarver's link.
It's long and may take a while for a download and viewing; it's worth the time!

Wow, the very first shot of the Enkeis with the centerlocks being washed was enough for me, the rest was just a bonus.

I said I was going to, I meant it (already did)
Never been a two wheeler, but it was definitely a good watch.
